4M Challenge

It was said that the number of participants for this particular event (which should've happened last month. Ergo making it K4MC 2008) was not as many as expected. Even though this event was included in the Sabah Calender for activities, I guess that's all where the advertisement was made. Publicity not that wide. Oh there were the buntings tied here and there...

Mer and I met up early morning at Tamparuli township for breakfast. She left her car there and became my passenger for the drive up to Malangang. After yet another briefing by T95 (for the benefit of those who didn't turn up yesterday), we proceeded to our designated checkpoints.

Our checkpoint was at the Kiulu town riverbank. It was the checkpoint where the participants for Categories Women Open, Men Open, Mixed Doubles, Corporate and Government Agencies, and the Media were to go and get on their Bangkar (bamboo raft).

Around 9.45am the first category was flagged off. By 1.30pm or so, it was over.
Verdict... I'd have much enjoyed being a spectator than being on duty...

The 'bangkar' ..arranged on the riverbank. (actually they weren't tied up properly, that's one of the challenges for the participants. They have to tie the bamboo as fast and servicable as possible before they could go into the water)
